While the book publishers' suit against the Internet Archive has ended, the record labels' suit against them continues. Some recent docs remain paywalled on PACER, but from opened filings we learn:

- mediation in September didn't result in an agreement
- defendants are opposing discovery requests for all their recordings, Brewster Kahle's and George Blood's personal finances, and all statements IA folks have made on copyright
- a jury trial is scheduled for July 2026
